Radio Eka on FM 104.5

The radio station which was initially thought of as being started by EAP in place of Raja FM is actually the station which would have been owned by the Jathika Hela Urumaya. The license of the station was bought by Mr. Hemaka head of Singer for a sum of Rs 110/= million and is presently being tested as "Radio Eka".

At the moment only Swarnavahini is carrying out the advertising for this radio channel.
